Give him back the armband, not good enough to start but he’s got the right mentality

One of incidence just like the whole Gallas thing back in the day, Gallas was a good leader, Fabregas while a great player was not captain material. The original captain of that team should have been Gilberto/Kolo

As for our current team Aubameyang is probably the worst captain we’ve had, in the past we’ve had silent types in like Koscielny and Fabregas, but Auba is worse doesn’t even show up to interviews after the game, always late to training cares more about his hairstyle and bling, clothing and cars

What sort of example does this set for the rest of the team especially the youngsters, the captain is supposed to be a leader of men

Don’t need to tell me about Auba lol, he’s the worst captain we’ve ever had.


Just don’t think Xhaka is the answer and he should never get it back after what he did. Luiz is the best choice right now but so short term that I’d rather go for Tierney and use Luiz if the Scot is injured.

Oh yeah how can I forget about our best centre back, all the Youngsters are always saying how helpful he is, if he extends his contract with us he would certainly be the best choice

Let’s not get started on our part time super model vice captain lol

Wasn't really up against the most potent of wingers but credit to him for putting in a solid performance as makeshift left-back.

He did good but Artetas tactics helped a lot today, I don’t know if anyone noticed but Xhaka didn’t make any forward runs and Ceballos was the one coming to the left to support Martinelli and help Xhaka defensively

In another game playing against a better winger, being tasked with bombing forward like a standard fullback he’d get exposed

Tbh I'm warming up to this guy this season, can't forgive the c*** for his armband throwing but he does seem to always put in his best shift for the team.

Long term not been good enough and still stupid mistakes like vs Burnley but he's been an important player this year.

Yep. Commentary mentioned how they didn't really attack Xhaka. He did his job either way. Can’t imagine Cedric struggling in this game but then again, against Slavia under no pressure at all he messed up.

Next time move him a little further wide. Like into the car park wide.

Lol @ Arsenal's PR team and Arteta trying to convince us that Xhaka would make a great LB. He's one of our slowest players.

He's still our captain in all but name. Interesting video.

He really isn't. He's a c*** who can't take any responsibility, lashes out at fans, constantly loses his cool (costing us games) and a major reason why we're as shit as we are.
